Yesterday I got the pictures for Isaac's monthly update. But since I'm raiding and my sinuses hurt, it'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Besides that I'm feeling better though.

Monday: 8 months/35 weeks
Joshua recently had his eight month birthday. How time flies!
Eating: Nursing is going fine (although he's had a cold so the last few days have been a bit hard). He is having a harder time drinking from a bottle after several months without a problem. He refuses formula. Eating solids is sometimes ok, but he refuses them on a regular basis too.
Sleeping: Sleeping is still about the same. Two short naps and one longer nap (or one short nap and a very long nap). He still wakes up about once in the middle of the night to eat. I usually find him on his stomach in his crib, and I often find him far from the place that I put him.
Mobility: Joshua is still not all that mobile. He quickly rolls from his back to his front. He can spin in place. I've seen him try to pull up on a few things that wouldn't support him and maybe some claps too...it's hard to tell.
Attitude: He's still quite happy. Not necessarily silly, but getting smiles out of him is pretty easy. (Except when we were in Florida. He was rather serious then.)
Misc: We just got rid of the pacifiers. He had started chewing on them a lot and then with the cold he wouldn't take them. So it seemed like a good stopping point. Joshua seems to like Ben a lot more than Isaac did at this age...there is always a huge smile for Ben when he gets home from work.

Sunday: swing
I took down the swing this past week.
Oh swing, you were so good to us.
Your floppy ears may be permanently skewed, but it makes you all the more lovable.
There were so many peaceful naps in your cozy basket.
You will be missed and never forgotten.

Saturday: back time
Joshua was supposed to be having tummy time, but refused.
I was also trying to clean up Joshua's bedroom, but that wasn't working either.

Friday: carrots
I was napping with Joshua when Isaac wanted a snack. I told him that there were raisins on the table, but he just seemed to get upset. So I told him he could have some carrots, as I had left the bag on the counter. (Yeah, house-keeping this week hasn't gone so well.)
I saw the bowl later...

Isaac likes carrots, but usually only eats about two at a time. So this was a rather ambitious bowl full. He gave me one while I was feeding Joshua, and then said it was time for me to go to sleep. But to holler if I wanted a carrot. He turned out the light, said "sleep tight night night", and shut the door. I started to sing loudly. He came back in, told me I was being too loud and that I should try to close my eyes. And to holler if I wanted a carrot. I started yelling...he came back in. I told him I needed a camel. So he brought me Joshua's. He left again, telling me to holler if I wanted a carrot.
He actually ate more of them throughout the afternoon than I was expecting. I ate two, but there were only four left.

Thursday: a quote
A: what did you write?
I: I love you when my heart is pumping.
*******And from a while ago*********
I: that EE [monkey] is bringing me medicine! Thank you EE.
Isaac eats it
I: what kind of medicine was it? Chocolate medicine? With ice cream on it?
EEs...er, monkeys...make a daily apperance in the house. Sometimes they go home to nap. Sometimes the big white one helps me drive. It's always interesting to see what they're going to do next.

Wednesday: sick
I'm sick.
I've been sick since Saturday, but how I feel goes up and down. It might be directly related to how long it's been since I've slept.
Tonight I still don't have my voice back, have a runny nose, feel like I have a fever (but I don't), and vaguly feel like I'm pregnant - exhausted, hurting hips, general blah (but I'm not pregnant). Why do my hips hurt?
But let's look on the very bright side. I'm not pregnant. I'll feel better in a few days.
Also, the day went by rather quickly. Aunt C came in the morning to spend time with Joshua while Isaac and I did some errands. (She was also greeted with the warmest greeting I've ever heard Isaac give. "I like you!" "You're my friend." "I like to play with you.") Then she played with Isaac for a bit and I tried to give Joshua a bottle...it's not working, which is rather a problem. At least he's eating food. Then after lunch we all took a long nap. Ben came home a bit early and the rest of the evening worked out.

Monday: 34 weeks
Joshua is 34 weeks old today. After being very serious down in Florida, he has started to smile a bit more again. Still serious, but not all the time.
Joshua likes duplos. So for a while this morning Joshua was playing with duplos and Isaac was playing with Legos and it was lovely.

Sunday: Florida pictures
Ready for a picture overload? In no order, because that's a bit too hard.
Joshua floating all by himself. Better sign him up for swimming lessons this summer too.
Joshua had a lot of cute pictures this vacation.
Dulpo train
Slide in the dulpo area. There was a very nice nursing area here too.
There were giant duplos in the area too.
Isaac got to go in his own car on the driving range, but it didn't really go very well.
There was a nice guy that helped him though.
Lego seagull.
Ben and Isaac in a boat.
Joshua looking cool.
Isaac and a robot boat.
Isaac's pool get-up. A loose life vest and swimmies. It looked silly but worked very well.
Ben and Joshua
Isaac lining up all the ducks. Actually, he really enjoyed "rescuing" the ducks and putting them in the hot tub. It gave him a purpose to swimming around in the pool.
Swimming
Splashing and kicking with me.
Joshua at the playground.
At a playground. It was a rather nice playground.
Cheryl.
Water break.
Isaac on the duplo train.
Ben sat behind him.
I tried to get him to take a picture by duplos that he had, but instead he wanted the carrots and corn.
Isaac with a Lego Camel. It was kind of hard to get him out of the stroller since he was a bit sick. But later he saw the pictures and said "It's Jerusalem!" (That's the name of his camel.)
Waiting in line for beetle bounce.
Ready for beetle bounce.
Standing by the octopus because Joshua was dressed in his octopus outfit. However, he was asleep and I wasn't about to wake him.
By mini-land. Both boys were still asleep.
Last ride - the carousel. It was also the first one that Joshua could go on.
Goodbye LegoLand!
Joshua and me.
Joshua.
A "trap"
Joshua looking thoughtful.
